Area-51 R4, bluetooth quit working

Quit working after 2020-04 cumulative update for windows 1909. Think last time keyboard / mouse worked was 4-22

I tried a repair of Qualcomm 11ac Wireless LAN & Bluetooth but that failed as the sources were no longer in the dell\driver folder:

C:\ProgramData\Dell\drivers\5117e29b-200b-4eb8-af51-542b47174130\Install_CDthe driver version was 11.0.0.10483

  I suspect that driver is obsolete as the "Killer" QUALCOMM is newer: 12.0.0.825

I reinstalled that killer driver from the AREA51-R4 list of downloads.  Also installed the Dell Update App 30-april-2020

Bluetooth is still missing. I checked the bios, 2.0.3 (latest) and there is no setting for bluetooth or wifi, just network 1 and network 2

Wifi works fine, Bluetooth is missing from device manager.

anyone else have this problem?

    I edited my post yesterday to explain how I fixed the problem and included images from the screen.  They are all missing as is usual for this community.  I will not repost my solution.  Killer is the dell nickname for the QUALCOMM device.

    what is the exact model number or DP/N of the mini wireless card in your A51 R4?  are you certain it is Qualcomm and not Killer?

    If you edit your post more than twice in 15 minutes it is likely to get marked as spam and deleted automatically.

    Posts are commonly edited to correct spelling errors.  This is dells problems not mine.  I am surprised that the word QUALCOMM was not used to mark my post as spam.  I assume it has been added to the database as a safe word as I see it is automatically capitalized.

    I had the exact same problem within the last two days.  This morning as a last resort I unplugged my computer at the back of the computer.  I walked away for about 10 minutes.  When I returned I plugged the computer back in and let it do a complete boot up.  All was miraculously fixed.....

     

    Good Luck!!!!!!
